Croatia booked their place in the final of World Cup for the first time in their history after beating England 2-1 in the semi-final. 

England had taken the lead in the fifth minute through a stunning free-kick from Kieran Trippier. For most parts of the match, it seemed the Three Lions would be heading for their second-ever final. 

But in the 68th minute, Ivan Perisic equalized for Croatia. From that moment on, it seemed there will only be one winner. After the match headed into extra time, Mario Mandzukic scored the winner after the England defense went to sleep.

But during their celebration, they unknowingly made a photographer part of their happiness. After the goal, the Croatian players started celebrating, and in that process, a photographer was squeezed with them.

After realizing their mistake, the Croatian players got up and the photographer finally breathed. The players apologized to him, and Domagoj Vida went as far as giving him a kiss on the forehead.
